“To (...) those who have suffered childhood wounds without the guidance they needed from grown-ups until we became grown-ups ourselves and were finally able to make sense of the hurt and confusion.”
I highly recommend Devout, especially as an audiobook read by the author himself. While I do not find the author’s life experience itself relatable, I deeply related to certain exchanges with his parents and to the lasting effects of religious indoctrination. After losing close family members who were devoted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I was left with many unanswered questions and unspoken opinions. This audiobook brought me comfort in an unexpected way. It helped me feel less alone and offered insight into where the beliefs and inner conflicts of members of this religion are rooted. Listening felt like being gently guided through complex emotions like grief, faith, doubt, and identity with honesty and compassion. Anyone struggling after choosing to take life into their own hands and trying to find happiness will find this story hard to turn off. It is a reminder that you are not alone! And I know it may be unbearably hard now, there will be other times, and other ways forward. As a final, very personal touch, the audiobook ends with three new songs that hit right in the feels!
